So i checked out your link to Post Secrets. It’s funny, sad and moving. And provided the most embarassing moment of my day.

I stepped away from the computer to, i don’t know, do some work, only to return shortly and find my co-workers laughing. i left up the Post Secrets site. and what post card did I stop on? “i had gay sex at church camp. 3 times.”

Beware the hungry DVD Burners. They are plotting to take over the world.

PostSecret — yeah, amazing isn’t it? I was just talking last night to someone who might do a music/video installation with, using some of these cards, if we can get permission. I agree — funny, sad and moving.
